Detailed Description

timer utility

usage:

ZFTimer *timer = zfobjAlloc(ZFTimer, ...);
timer->start();
zfobjRelease(timer); // safe to release after start, timer would be auto released after stop

Member Function Documentation

classData()

virtual const ZFClass * ZFTimer::classData ( void )

inlinevirtual

get instance's class info

Reimplemented from ZFObject.

E_TimerOnStart()

zfidentity ZFTimer::E_TimerOnStart ( void )

static

see ZFObject::observerNotify

called when timer started

Note

on what thread this event is fired depends on impl

E_TimerOnActivate()

zfidentity ZFTimer::E_TimerOnActivate ( void )

static

see ZFObject::observerNotify

called when timer activated

Note

on what thread this event is fired depends on impl, unless eventOnMainThread was set

E_TimerOnStop()

zfidentity ZFTimer::E_TimerOnStop ( void )

static

see ZFObject::observerNotify

called when timer stopped

Note

on what thread this event is fired depends on impl

objectOnInit() [1/2]

virtual void ZFTimer::objectOnInit ( zftimet interval )

protectedvirtual

init with timer settings

you may change them after timer created, but you must not if timer is started

objectOnInit() [2/2]

virtual void ZFTimer::objectOnInit ( void )

protectedvirtual

override this to init your object

subclass must call superclass's objectOnInit before any other code if override
you may also declare objectOnInit with params like this:

zfclass Parent : ... {
    ...
protected:
    virtual void objectOnInit(void) {...};
};
zfclass Child : Parent {
protected:
    // override all parent's objectOnInit is also required,
    // because of function hiding of C++
    zfoverride
    virtual void objectOnInit(void) {
        zfsuper::objectOnInit();
    }
    // custom init entry
    virtual void objectOnInit(Params...) {
        // your extra init steps
        ...
    }
};

Warning

objectOnInit and objectOnDealloc is called as a virtual function, take good care of other virtual function call, use zfself::func() instead of this->func() if necessary, or use objectOnInitFinish/objectOnDeallocPrepare, or declare your own constructor with ZFOBJECT_DECLARE_WITH_CUSTOM_CTOR

Note

(ZFTAG_LIMITATION) due to limitations of C++, if your parent type declared objectOnInit with different params, and your child type want to override part of those objectOnInit, then your child type must also override all objectOnInit that parent declared, otherwise, some may be hidden

for objects that designed not to be allocated by user, you should use ZFOBJECT_PRIVATE_ALLOC, typically usage:

zfclass MyObject : zfextend ZFObject {
    ZFOBJECT_DECLARE(MyObject, ZFObject)
    ZFOBJECT_PRIVATE_ALLOC("should be created by MyObject::instanceForXxx only")
 
public:
    static zfauto instanceForXxx(xxx) {
        // can only be allocated by reflection
        return zfself::ClassData()->newInstance();
    }
};
static void func(void) {
    // MyObject *obj = zfobjAlloc(MyObject); // would compile error
    zfauto obj = MyObject::instanceForXxx(xxx); // OK
}

Reimplemented from ZFObject.

objectOnDealloc()

virtual void ZFTimer::objectOnDealloc ( void )

protectedvirtual

override this to destroy your object

subclass must call superclass's objectOnDealloc after any other code if override
see objectOnInit for more info

Reimplemented from ZFObject.

objectOnDeallocPrepare()

virtual void ZFTimer::objectOnDeallocPrepare ( void )

protectedvirtual

called before objectOnDealloc, safe to call virtual functions here

usually used to cleanup resources attached to this object other than self's internal resources

Note

it's ensured safe to retain the object while deallocating, but it's not ensured objectOnDeallocPrepare would only called once for each instance

Reimplemented from ZFObject.

interval()

virtual zftimet & ZFTimer::interval ( )

inlinevirtual

timer's interval when start a timer in mili seconds, default is 1000

assert fail if interval is less than 0

stop()

virtual void ZFTimer::stop ( )

virtual

stop the timer

Implements ZFTaskId.
